Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.
Hale Moani
Building Overview
Hale Moani in Waikiki, a 15-floor concrete building with pool and BBQ and ocean/Diamond Head views.

About Hale Moani
According to available records, Hale Moani is a 15-floor, 75-unit concrete building in Central Waikiki built in 1973. Based on MLS data, the building has one elevator and window air conditioning in units.
Key on-site amenities listed in MLS include a pool, BBQ area, and a resident manager. Units are reported to have ocean, mountain and Diamond Head views. The building is managed by Hawaiiana Management Company, Ltd., per available records.
MLS data indicate parking is available, covered and assigned. Pets are allowed and short-term rentals are not permitted. Buyers should verify all details, fees, rules and current conditions with the listing agent or management, as this summary is based solely on MLS data.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
Property data is unanimous that the building was constructed in 1973, with 12 out of 12 listings reporting this year. No listing remarks contradict or qualify this date.
Listings include units on floors up to at least the 15th floor, and no remarks specify a different total number of stories. Following the rule to use the highest observed floor number when no explicit building count is given, the building is treated as having 15 floors.
A remark notes there are 'only five units per floor,' and property data shows at least 15 floors with residential units, implying about 75 units in the building. Because no listing explicitly states the total number of units, this is an informed estimate rather than a directly confirmed figure.
I searched for numeric statements such as "80% owner occupied" and qualitative descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No such evidence was found, so the current value of 48.00% is retained with low confidence.
I searched for explicit counts such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or similar wording. The remarks confirm elevator access but provide no count, so the current value of 1 is retained with low confidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Where agents list what the maintenance covers, they consistently mention electricity, water, sewer, cable, internet, and hot water but never central A/C. With ACCEN unchecked across all MLS records, it is very likely central air conditioning is not included in the fees.
At least 7 listings explicitly mention cable, including phrases such as "basic cable TV," "cable TV," and "cable." The evidence is strong across multiple remarks and is reinforced by CABTV being checked in 14/15 current MLS records.
Approximately 10 listings mention electricity being included in the maintenance fee, commonly using phrases such as "maintenance fee includes electricity" or "covers electricity." The MLS coding is strong at 13/15 listings, though the remarks appear somewhat standardized and do not specifically describe common-area electricity.
None of the MLS records indicate cooperative taxes are included, and the building is marketed as fee simple rather than a co-op. This makes it virtually certain that cooperative taxes are not part of the maintenance fee.
Very strong evidence that electricity is included. Multiple listings say 'maintenance fee covers electricity' or 'includes electricity,' and the MLS checkbox is present in nearly every record.
Agents repeatedly list what the fees cover but never reference gas service, and the GAS checkbox is unset on all MLS records. This strongly indicates gas is not included in the association fees (and likely not a significant building utility).
At least 5 listings explicitly mention "hot water" as included in the maintenance fee, including statements that fees cover "electricity, water, hot water and sewer." HOTWAT appears in 13/15 current MLS records, providing strong and consistent evidence.
Internet is supported by both MLS data and repeated agent remarks. Several listings say 'internet' is included, often grouped with electricity, cable TV, water, and sewer.
While the building fronts the Ala Wai Canal, none of the listings describe marina access or boat slips, and the MARINA inclusion flag is never used. This provides strong evidence that marina access or fees are not part of the association dues.
At least 7 listings explicitly state that sewer is included, with phrases such as "water, hot water and sewer" and "maintenance fees cover ... sewer." The evidence is exceptionally strong because every current MLS listing has SEWER checked.
At least 10 listings explicitly mention water being included, including "water fees included," "maintenance fee includes ... water," and "fees cover ... water." The evidence is exceptionally strong and consistent across the building, with WATER checked in all 15 current MLS listings.
BBQ facilities are consistently supported by the public remarks and MLS data. At least 6 separate listing remarks mention phrases like 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ grill,' and 'BBQ deck,' which suggests this is a real shared building amenity rather than a copy-paste anomaly. Combined with the current MLS hit rate (12/14), confidence is very high.
At least one listing explicitly lists a 'bike rack' among building amenities, indicating residents have a place to store bicycles on-site. Other listings are consistent with this and do not contradict it, supporting that the building offers bike storage as a shared amenity.
Views of the Ala Wai Canal are a selling point, but there is no suggestion of docking or boating facilities. MLS data supports the conclusion that there is no boat dock or marina amenity.
Parking is discussed (covered stalls, location), but no mention is made of car wash facilities. MLS data is consistent with there being no car wash amenity.
Amenities are consistently limited to pool, BBQ, community laundry, and bike rack; no clubhouse is ever referenced. The MLS data is fully consistent with the absence of a clubhouse.
Remarks focus on location, views, utilities-included maintenance fees, pool/BBQ, and security via video/fob, but there is no reference to any concierge or front-desk services. With 0/12 MLS indications and no textual evidence, it is highly likely there is no concierge at this building.
While the building allows pets ('PET-FRIENDLY'), there is no indication of a specific on-site dog park or run. MLS amenity data aligns with the absence of this feature.
Multiple agents emphasize 'secured' entry via video/fob and other amenities like pool, BBQ, and community laundry, but there is no mention of a staffed doorman or lobby attendant in any listing. This consistent omission alongside 0/12 DOORMA entries makes it very likely the building has no doorman service.
Across 12 listings, none reference a gym, fitness center, or exercise room. Combined with 0/12 MLS amenity checkboxes, this is strong evidence the building lacks an exercise facility.
Despite being a selling point in luxury buildings, no courtesy car or limo service is advertised here. Combined with MLS data, this strongly indicates no such service.
None of the 12 listings highlight any meeting or conference facilities, which would typically be marketed if available. MLS checkboxes also omit this feature.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported across the building: at least 13 of 15 provided remarks mention a lanai, wrap-around lanai, private lanai, or related outdoor space. Key phrases include “242 SF wrap-around lanai,” “expansive wrap-around lanai,” “private lanai,” and “community pool and BBQ deck,” with consistent support from multiple listings rather than a single copied remark.
Any walking or jogging is implied to be off-site along the Ala Wai area, not a controlled building feature. MLS data does not mark a jogging path amenity.
Across all 12 listings, family-oriented play amenities are never mentioned, which would be highly marketable if present. MLS data uniformly shows no playground amenity.
Across 12 listings, there are no references to a private yard, fenced yard, or enclosed ground-level outdoor space—only lanais, decks, and pool/BBQ areas typical of a high-rise. This strongly indicates the building does not offer private yard areas for units.
Although some listings mention golf course views, none claim an on-site putting green. The MLS data corroborates that no such amenity exists at this building.
Multiple agents independently reference a pool/BBQ area or deck, indicating a dedicated shared recreation deck rather than just a small grill space. With consistent MLS tagging, this supports a building-level recreation area.
Across all listings, amenities are described as pool, BBQ, community laundry, and bike rack, with no recreation or game room mentioned. MLS data also does not show a rec room, indicating it likely does not exist.
The building is marketed for its location near many restaurants, not for in-building dining. Absence of any direct claim and MLS omission indicate no on-site restaurant.
Views and outdoor space are consistently described in terms of private lanais and the pool/BBQ deck, not a rooftop. The complete absence in MLS data further indicates no shared rooftop amenity.
For a sauna, agents typically highlight it alongside pool/gym amenities, but it is never mentioned. MLS amenity fields agree that no sauna is present.
1 of 15 current listings explicitly mentions a "large storage room off the lanai," while 1 of 15 MLS records includes storage/additional storage in amenities. The evidence is limited to one listing and may be unit-specific rather than a common building storage facility, but it is a clear direct mention and supports including the feature.
I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage. No qualifying surfboard-storage reference was found.
None of the 12 listings reference tennis courts or related facilities, and MLS data uniformly omits this amenity. This strongly indicates the building does not offer tennis courts.
Trash chute is listed in the MLS amenities for all 15 of 15 current listings, strongly indicating a building-wide feature. None of the provided remarks explicitly mention a trash, garbage, or refuse chute, so the evidence is primarily consistent MLS amenity data rather than independent agent descriptions.
All references to parking are to individual stalls rather than a managed service, and no listing mentions 'valet' or similar services. The combination of remarks and MLS checkbox data strongly supports that the building does not offer valet service.
Across 12 listings, agents highlight pool, BBQ, parking, and secure entry but never mention perimeter walls, fencing, or gates. The complete absence of 'gated' or 'fenced' language and 0/12 MLS flags strongly indicate there is no enclosing wall or fence system for the property.
Amenity descriptions consistently limit water features to a standard pool. The lack of any hot tub or spa reference plus MLS data indicates no whirlpool facility.
The building pool is strongly confirmed across multiple listings and agents. At least 10 of the 15 remarks explicitly mention the amenity, including "relax at the pool," "building has ... pool," "on-site pool and bbq area," and "community pool and BBQ deck"; this aligns with the 15/15 current MLS amenity records and prior high-confidence determination.
While many listings confirm the presence of a shared pool, none of the 12 current MLS entries mark it as heated and no remarks use terms like 'heated pool' or 'heated swimming pool'. The consistent lack of any 'heated' description across agents and remarks indicates the building’s pool is not heated.
I searched for salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, and saline pool. The remarks confirm a pool exists but provide no evidence that it is saltwater.
No listing remarks reference in-unit washers or dryers, even for upgraded and penthouse units, and 0/12 MLS inclusion checkboxes indicate a washer/dryer. Multiple agents instead emphasize shared/community laundry, suggesting laundry is provided communally rather than in individual units.
Community laundry is explicitly mentioned in 5 of 15 current listings, including descriptions stating "pool, BBQ and community laundry," "Building amenities include pool, BBQ area, community laundry," and "Amenities include a pool, BBQ area, community laundry." This strongly corroborates the historical High-confidence determination and the MLS checkbox being selected on all 15 listings.
I searched for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated laundry, or laundry fees. None of those payment-related terms were found.
I searched for references to laundry on each floor, laundry rooms on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry. No such wording was found in the remarks.
Every recent listing indicates the presence of at least one parking stall, with remarks such as "WITH PARKING" and "1 bed, 1 bath, 1 parking unit." MLS parking_features show that all 12 of 12 listings have a parking type selected and none indicate no parking. This strongly supports that the building offers on-site parking for residents.
At least 2 listings explicitly mention assigned-style parking, including "reserved parking stall" and "one designed parking stall," while several others advertise an included parking stall. The strong current MLS evidence—12 of 15 listings marked ASSIGN—indicates assigned or reserved parking is a consistent building feature.
At least 6 listings explicitly reference covered parking, including "covered parking stall," "1 covered parking stall included," and "1 covered parking unit." The evidence is strong across multiple remarks and is reinforced by current MLS data showing covered/garage classifications in 12 of 15 listings.
Parking is consistently described as included or assigned, such as "1 covered parking stall included" and "reserved parking stall." However, inclusion or assignment does not establish deeded ownership, and no explicit deeded-parking language was found.
Across all provided listings, there are no references to EV charging, charging stations, or similar amenities. MLS parking_features for 12 of 12 listings omit the EVCHRG checkbox. Given this consistent absence, it is highly likely the building does not offer dedicated EV charging stations.
The listings describe parking as included, covered, reserved, or provided with the unit, but do not specify a separate parking charge. Because no numeric or fee amount appears, the parking fee is unknown.
None of the listing remarks mention "guest parking" or "visitor parking," despite detailing other amenities such as pool, BBQ, and bike rack. Additionally, no MLS records for the 12 listings check the GUEST parking feature. This strongly suggests that formal guest parking is not available at this building.
Remarks describe a "secured building with fob entry" but do not specifically state that the parking area itself is gated or access-controlled. MLS parking_features never mark SECENT for any of the 12 listings. This pattern indicates that, while the building is secure, the parking is not clearly marketed as separately secured entry parking.
Listing remarks talk about a "large parking stall that potentially fits a car plus a motorcycle or moped" but never use terms like "tandem" or "back-to-back." The TANDEM option is unchecked in all 12 MLS entries. This makes it very likely that tandem parking is not a standard or advertised configuration in this building.
The building is described as a conventional Waikiki condo with self-use parking, and no listing mentions valet or attended parking services. MLS data also show that none of the 12 listings select the VALET option. Together, this provides very strong evidence that the building does not offer valet parking.
I searched the remarks for parking-waitlist language and found none. The listings generally describe a parking stall associated with the unit, but do not discuss a waitlist system.
Security is described as '24/7 video and key fob security' and 'fob entry,' but agents never say the elevator itself is keyed or requires a fob. Combined with 0/12 MLS ELEVAT checkboxes, the evidence suggests there is secure building entry but not a keyed/fob-access elevator system.
The remarks repeatedly confirm a key-fob access system, along with video surveillance. This directly supports card/fob access security.
Agents repeatedly describe Hale Moani as a 'secured' or 'secure, well-managed' building but never mention a guard or on-site security personnel. With 0/12 MLS checkboxes for SECGUA and no guard-related language across remarks, this strongly indicates there is no security guard service.
I searched for security patrol, roving security, patrol service, or a patrolled building. No patrol-service language was found.
At least 1/12 listings clearly mentions '24/7 video ... security,' providing explicit evidence of video surveillance at the building. Other remarks refer to a 'secured' or 'secure, well-managed' building, supporting the presence of a building-wide video security system despite MLS checkboxes being left blank.
No listings (0/12) indicate central AC in MLS checkboxes, and no remarks mention 'central air', 'HVAC', or similar terms. Given how prominently a building-wide system is typically marketed, this consistent absence across multiple agents and listings strongly suggests the building does not have central air conditioning.
Across 12 listings, no MLS checkbox entries (ACSPL) or remarks mention split, ductless, or mini-split AC systems. Given the number of listings and that recent upgrades are otherwise well-documented, this strongly indicates that units in the building do not have split AC systems.
Window A/C appears on 5 of 14 current MLS listings (ACWIUN), suggesting some units offer it. However, the public remarks across the listings do not explicitly mention window air conditioners or wall units, so this looks like moderate MLS-driven evidence rather than strong remark confirmation. I would treat this as available in some units, but not clearly described by multiple agents.
Concrete construction is supported by all 15 current listings through the MLS construction-materials field (CONCRE), with historically high confidence. None of the 15 public-remark entries explicitly mentions concrete construction, but the uniform checkbox/material data across multiple listings is strong and consistent rather than an isolated agent entry.
None of the 12 listings indicate double-wall construction, and the structure is repeatedly characterized as a concrete Waikiki condo tower. In Hawaii, double-wall refers mainly to wood-framed homes, which this is not. The consistent absence of this checkbox supports a negative conclusion.
All listings omit hollow tile in the construction materials, while unanimously selecting concrete instead. Remarks never mention hollow tile walls or similar. This pattern across many agents suggests hollow tile is not a defining construction type for this building.
Masonry/stucco is not well supported: only 2 of 14 listings carry MASSTU, and none of the public remarks describe masonry or stucco construction. The repeated copy-paste style remarks focus on views, parking, pool, and laundry, which suggests the construction checkbox is likely inconsistent or inaccurate.
No listings select steel frame in the construction materials, while all instead select concrete. Remarks emphasize a standard Waikiki condo tower with nothing suggesting a steel-frame structure. Combined MLS and market norms make steel-frame construction unlikely here.
Slab construction appears in a minority of current listings, 5 out of 14. The public remarks do not explicitly confirm a concrete slab foundation, so this is supported mainly by the MLS checkbox data rather than by descriptive text. That makes it a reasonable but not high-confidence building feature.
No analysis available
0/12 listings mark wood frame, and remarks repeatedly describe a secure, elevator-served high-rise building (penthouses, high floors, multiple units per level). Given the building type and local construction norms, wood-frame construction is highly unlikely. The absence of this checkbox across all agents supports this conclusion.
Half of the listings explicitly mark above-ground construction, and none contradict it; remarks describe high-floor and penthouse units, confirming a raised multi-story structure. While some agents do not check this box (likely omission), the combination of MLS data and building form makes above-ground construction likely applicable.
None of the listings mention or check brick construction, and the building is presented as a typical concrete Waikiki condo tower. Given local practices and the lack of any brick-related language, brick construction can be safely ruled out. Multiple independent agents omitting this box reinforces that it is not a brick building.
All listings omit single-wall construction and instead mark concrete, and the remarks describe a secure elevator building with penthouse and high-floor units. This is incompatible with traditional single-wall construction. The consistent data across many agents makes single-wall construction effectively certain to be absent.
The remarks mention primary homes, second homes, investments, and a "vacation home," but these phrases do not establish that short-term rentals are legally permitted. No explicit STR authorization was found, so this is treated as false with limited confidence.
I searched for hotel-pool and rental-program terms, including managed-by-hotel and branded hotel pool references. None was found, and the STR prerequisite is not satisfied.
The remarks contain no indication of a required hotel rental pool or mandatory rental program. Because STR is not established as allowed, mandatory hotel-pool participation must also be false.
At least one listing clearly states the unit is 'fee simple,' establishing that fee simple ownership exists in this building. No other listing mentions leasehold or land lease terms, suggesting fee simple is common here.
Across all provided remarks, there are no references to leasehold or lease terms, and one unit is explicitly marketed as 'fee simple.' Given leasehold status is typically emphasized in this market, the evidence points to this being an all–fee simple building with no leasehold units noted.
I searched for language such as "lease expires," "land lease," "ground lease ends," and specific lease-expiry years. None was found, so the lease-expiry year remains unknown.
The remarks repeatedly reference VA buyers, providing strong public-remarks evidence that VA financing is accepted. No contrary statements were found.
Several listings directly confirm comprehensive hurricane/building insurance. This repeated explicit evidence strongly supports that the building is fully insured.
No listing remarks mention fire sprinklers, and the MLS amenity for sprinklers is unchecked on all 12 listings. This consistent absence strongly suggests the building does not have a marketed fire sprinkler system.
I searched for terms including "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," "life safety compliant," and "passed fire inspection." None appeared in the public remarks, so this is set to false with medium-low confidence based on absence of evidence.

4 of 15 current listings mention ocean views, with explicit phrases such as 'breathtaking Ocean' and 'breathtaking OCEAN...VIEWS.' Although less frequent than the other view types, the remarks from multiple listings confirm that ocean-view units are offered in the building.
8 of 15 current listings mention mountain views. Repeated phrases include 'Ko'olau Mountain,' 'Ko'olau Mountains,' 'mountain vistas,' and 'views of the majestic Ko'olau Mountains,' demonstrating strong support across multiple listings.
A high-floor corner listing explicitly mentions 'Diamond Head views' and again lists 'Diamond Head with sunrise' among its view corridors. This, along with one MLS Diamond Head tag, confirms that some units in the building do enjoy Diamond Head views.
10 of 15 current listings mention city views. Examples include 'City, mountain, and canal views,' 'partial city and mountain views,' and 'sparkling city lights,' indicating that city-view units are available in the building.
Agents describe an 'OCEAN' view in one case but never characterize it as a 'coastline' or 'shoreline' view, and no MLS entries use a coastline tag. This suggests the building offers ocean glimpses rather than expansive coastline views as a defining feature.
Listings consistently promote canal, mountain, city, ocean, golf course, and Diamond Head views but never mention garden, courtyard, or landscaped views. Given the building’s urban/canal frontage and complete absence of such remarks, units with true garden views are unlikely.
Golf course views are explicitly confirmed in the remarks, with one listing directly stating unobstructed views of the 'golf course.' While fewer listings mention it than mountain or canal views, the evidence is direct and consistent with the MLS pattern.
13 of 15 current listings mention marina-type views, predominantly using phrases such as 'Ala Wai Canal,' 'canal views,' and 'enjoy Ala Wai canal.' This repeated evidence across many listings strongly confirms that the building offers canal or harbor-style views.
Sunrise views are supported by at least one explicit remark and the current MLS trend. The strongest phrase is 'Diamond Head with sunrise,' which aligns with the building’s east-facing outlook and morning light exposure.
Despite extensive marketing of views (mountain, canal, city lights, ocean, golf course, Diamond Head with sunrise), there are no references to sunsets or evening western exposure. This persistent omission suggests sunset views are not a selling feature for this building’s units.
There are zero references to any cemetery view despite very detailed view marketing in the remarks and no MLS cemetery view tags. Considering the known urban/canal surroundings, it's safe to conclude the building does not offer cemetery views.
I searched for statements about watching or seeing fireworks from the lanai, unit, or building. No qualifying fireworks-view reference was found.

Multiple independent agents describe the building as 'PET-FRIENDLY' and 'pet-friendly', and there are no contrary restrictions mentioned. This provides strong evidence that the building allows pets, likely with standard condo rules rather than a blanket prohibition.
Resident manager is supported by current MLS amenities data rather than the agent remarks: 9 of 14 listings include RESMAN. None of the provided public remarks explicitly say “resident manager” or “on-site manager,” so this appears to be an MLS-inherited building feature rather than repeated copy in descriptions, but the consistency is strong enough to keep it as present.
Listings market the property as a conventional Waikiki condominium suitable for primary residents and long-term investors, with no hotel branding or front-desk/rental-pool language. The absence of any condotel terminology across many listings indicates it is not operated as a condotel.
The building is repeatedly referred to as a fee simple condominium without any mention of cooperative structure or share-based ownership. Both the wording in remarks and the MLS fee coding support that this is not a co-op building.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
